Additional Information: I have 2 home office desks, 2 small bookcases, and 3 boxes (one with picture frames, one with shelves, and one with valances in them) to ship. We ordered some custom made log furniture and need it shipped from Troy, Montana (zip code 59935) to Rawlins, Wyoming (82301). Mapquest says it is about a 15.5 hr. trip, the map on this thing is incorrect. The two desks demensions are: Desk 1: 32"Hx62"Lx24"W, Desk #2 is: 68"Hx54"Lx24"W. The two bookcases are: Case 1: 48"Hx48"Lx8"W, Case 2: 30"Hx42"Lx10.5"W. The first box should be about 30"x40"x12"deep. The second box should be about 58"x12"x24". The third box will be about 76"x12"x10". I have attached the blueprints that the desks were designed from. The furniture will already be packaged and ready to go for you. If possible, I would like some padding for the trip, this is some expensive custom log furniture. I only need a driver, I have people on their end to help load and people on our end to help unload. I would prefer it all in one trip, but if not possible, we can make some arrangements. I guesstimate the weight to be about 500 lbs. Any questions: adahlke04@hotmail.com, I check it daily. Thanks!

Question: I can probably help you out next week, what is your budget for this? (4/25/2006)
Response: Well, right now, we have got a preliminary quote of $380 from the guy we bought the furniture from. If we could do it for less than $500, we probably would. Thanks, Amber (4/25/2006)
Question: Ok, that seems fair enough, is there someone on both ends to help lift? (4/25/2006)
Response: Yes, I will make sure there is somebody on both ends to help load and unload. What day would you be picking the furniture up? Thanks, Amber (4/25/2006)
Question: Hello shipper,I'm here at 4corner restuant waitiy tng for your answer to my bid which has expired now.Can the bow kay flat and stack on the back of my pick-up?if so I will bid $500 and pick up today (4/26/2006)
Response: Okay, one problem...the furniture won't be done until this weekend. We would accept your bid of $500, but it isn't going to be done until Friday. Thanks! Amber (4/26/2006)
Question: It will be first of the week, shall I bid? (4/26/2006)
Response: I just talked to the furniture maker, and he is excited about your bid. I am suppossed to give you his name and number: Steve, 406-295-4348. Please give him a call, and the two of you can work out when is the best time for the pick-up to take place. If you have any quesitons, please feel free to e-mail me at adahlke04@hotmail.com. Thanks, Amber (4/26/2006)
Question: I just took a closer look at the demensions of desk #2, are you positive it is 68" tall(H),that may be a problem, unless it seperates, its too hard to tell from the blue print, let me know before I bid.Thanks (4/26/2006)
Response: Good news, Ralph! The Desk #2 comes in two different pieces. The top hutch part is serperate from the bottom drawers, we will bolt it on when it gets here! WHEW! Any questions, just ask! Thanks, Amber (4/26/2006)
Question: I wont have the room to lay it on its backside, and if it doesn't come apart, I may still be able to fit it in the middle of my trailer on the high point in the middle. But then I would loose out on alot of room I am trying to fill to make the run clear up there worth it! 500 is barely paying the fuel, and I need another load to make some money, and there isnt much to bring back from up there. I may have to wait a bit to find other loads, but I think I can help you out, and I appreciate your willingness to be hospitable! I just need to find a way to make it somewhat profitable. Chat with you tommorow. Thanks! (4/26/2006)
Response: I can't be positive, but I think Steve made it so the top part can be taken off and put back on. I know it isn't one big piece. I will let you know tomorrow as soon as I find out. I work til around 1 or 2, then I'll let you know. Could you lay the desk on its side? Would it fit better then? Let me know if that will work, and as soon as I hear back from Steve, I'll let you know! Thanks, Amber (4/26/2006)
Question: Great! That will help. I am still working on other loads to make the road trip worth it. Wish me luck! (4/27/2006)
Response: Will you still be able to do the pick-up the first of the week? I have a guy bidding $500 right now, and he is in the area, if it isn't worth it to you or you are unable to find another load or two, let me know soon and I can accept the other bid. Thanks, Amber (4/27/2006)
Question: Yes I am still planning on being there by then, maybe sooner. I will submit my bid here shortly (4/27/2006)
Response: Okay, sounds good! Have you had a chance to call Steve yet? I believe that number I gave you is the number to his shop, so if you could call him sometime tomorrow during business hours to figure out a time that will work for you, that will be great! Thanks, Amber (4/27/2006)
Question: Once the bid is accepted, I will then be in a position to call him and you. This is the procedure of Uship. (4/27/2006)
